It is with great sadness that I have to inform colleagues that Ruedi Keller passed away yesterday at the age of 94 after a short illness. Ruedi was Henry Simon Professor of German in Manchester for over 20 years, retiring in 1983. He had an international reputation in German dialectology and historical linguistics, and his academic leadership and his scholarship were an example to all who had the good fortune to work or study with him. He will be much missed.
